We stood up and played it and realized it was a great song.We just haven't performed it that great yet, but we're getting morecomfortable every night."

"We played it one time and the next thing we know we're doingoverdubs. Then he played it for us. The playback blew our minds. Wehad no idea we'd done something that big. I imagine it's aboutEarth being destroyed by this giant, and we're screening the planetfor survivors and s-. I have all these images going through myhead. It's really crazy."
